and for those who think content contributors had only to learn markdown
and Git to make valuable contributions have no clue about non-tech-savvy
people.

First: it's not more easy to learn markdown + Git than to use a CMS for
a content contributor (most of them are usable like an office text program)

Second: if you want to get a look onto your changes / contributions
before you submit them you need a local build environment. It works not
out of the box with a current Debian 11 fresh setup.

Andreas
